WILDER lacrimal dilator – Intermediate version for a balance between friction and fluidity
The WILDER dilator is part of the range of manual ophthalmic instruments designed by Frimed for dilating the lacrimal ducts. It is intended for professionals performing procedures such as probing, irrigation or unblocking the lacrimal duct. This model features a conical shaft with a finely striated tip, providing moderate friction. This design offers a good compromise between smooth gliding and light grip on the tissue, facilitating optimal control during insertion.
This model has a slightly rough surface, which is useful for guiding the instrument more stably within the canal. It is an intermediate option, suitable for most standard clinical situations.
The handle is fully striated, identical to the other models in the range, ensuring a good grip for precise handling, even in wet conditions or when wearing gloves. The balance between distal striations and manual grip makes it a reliable tool that is both reassuring for experienced practitioners and accessible for those in training.
The WILDER can be used alone or in combination with a set of dilators of various sizes and finishes. It is designed to meet the needs of users seeking a balance between ease of insertion and stability in the canal, while minimising the risk of local trauma.
